Noah Lyles shares his thoughts on one of the sweaters Tom Daley crocheted

As a long-time fan of both sports and crafting, I must say that the recent Olympics has been an unexpected delight with its behind-the-scenes glimpses into the lives of athletes like Noah Lyles and Tom Daley. The video featuring Noah’s enthusiastic response to Tom’s crocheted sweater was a breath of fresh air in this competitive world.


As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but reflect on the incredible moments the Olympics have offered us, even as they near their conclusion. Among these unforgettable instances were intimate glimpses into the lives of our beloved athletes. One such video, released on August 8, showcased American track phenom, Noah Lyles, exploring a handcrafted sweater by Tom Daley from Team GB.

Admirers of Daley are well aware that this Olympic diver is not just an accomplished athlete but also adept at knitting and crocheting. During the Olympics, he has left a significant impact by supporting his diving peers from the stands, all while working on various knitting and crochet projects.

In the video posted by BBC Sport, Noah Lyles expressed admiration for a rainbow sweater crocheted by Tom Daley, which was apparently shown on social media. It’s evident that Lyles holds Tom in high regard and is genuinely impressed with his craftsmanship.

Lyles himself confesses that he has learned crochet from his sister, who practices it at home. It appears that he speaks with authority when discussing lines and slip stitches. Frankly, this is the kind of Olympic insights we didn’t realize were missing.

As a long-time fan of both athletics and fashion, I must say that the exchange between Noah Lyles and the interviewer about Tom Daley knitting a cardigan was one of the most delightful moments in recent sports interviews. Being an athlete myself, I can relate to the camaraderie and mutual respect that these two athletes share, even across different sports.

Given that it’s common knowledge that Noah Lyles admires the crochet craftsmanship of Tom Daley, it would be delightful if they could engage in a conversation about everything related to yarn and crocheted items. Imagine the excitement if we were to witness Noah wearing a sweater designed by Tom – now that would truly be spectacular!

As someone who has spent countless hours watching the Olympics over the years, I must say that these behind-the-scenes moments and interviews are truly fascinating. It’s always interesting to catch a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes and get to know the athletes as individuals.
